Naiad Irrigation Systems Ltd Employee Review

They invest in your success with them

Service Technician (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 28 October 2021

Working as a Service Technician for Naiad has helped me grow professionally. It was excellent customer service experience as well as practical repair experience fixing sprinkler systems. Naiad provided thorough training through online courses and practical hands-on experience. They are always open to questions if you're unsure about something because they support the ideology of doing quality work, and above all doing things safely. Naiad Irrigation supports their employees and understands that they are at the heart of their success.

Pros

good training, working outside

Cons

big learning curve

Competitive Pay, Benefits and Variety

Service Technician (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 18 March 2021

Great place to work if you enjoy working outside. Although there are a few office positions, most jobs here have at least some portion of outdoor work. Pay is competitive, in some cases better than average for this industry and area. Benefits are included and pretty comprehensive, offered after 3-month probationary period. Workplace culture has an emphasis on customer service/customer satisfaction, and they do their best to provide adequate work/life balance by hiring enough staff and actively managing scheduling needs weeks/months in advance.Most challenging part of the outdoor positions are that they are physical. The work is manageable for most anyone, but employees should be mindful that outside of breaks and lunch the majority of the working day is doing physical work.The most enjoyable part of the outdoor positions is either the time spent outside/getting paid to exercise, or the feeling of satisfaction from completing a project, as you often get the opportunity to see how your work improves a landscape first hand.There is training available to advance if you choose. This could mean in-company training for difference positions, or industry training/certification programs that the company will pay for you to take so that you are better qualified. This includes safety/first aid courses too.Overall I would highly suggest working at Naiad to anyone, especially those who enjoy outdoor and physical labour type work.

Pros

Competitive wages, benefits

Cons

Outdoor work is not for everyone, hours can be longer during spring and fall (peak times)

Good Place If You Like Working Outside

Service Technician/Installer (Former Employee) - 21 - 235105 Wrangler Drive Calgary AB - 18 March 2021

Most of the jobs here are outdoor-based, which isn't for everyone. Upside is that you basically get paid to work out. Obviously if you do not want a physical job then this could be a problem. There are a few office positions here too.Pay is on par or slightly higher than similar places in Calgary area. Work is available year-round if you want it. Benefits start for full time employees after 3-month probation and cover quite a bit. They will train you if you don't have experience which is nice, and give you additional training for advancement if you are interested. Can be busy, in the spring and fall mostly. Those are peak times for turning on and turning off irrigation systems. This is nice for people who need money because it means overtime pay is available. Jobs are managed by an app on your phone and most people get a company phone which is nice. Managers and supervisors are promoted from the departments they work in, so they know the job you are doing and can help if you have problems as they have experience. Also nice because expectations are more realistic when managers actually know the job.People are nice. Not really a lot of issues, people just want to get their work done. Safety is a big thing, there are monthly meetings as well as daily assessments and toolbox meetings. They have a list of instructions for how to do every job that's on an app so you have it. Nice to be able to check back if you haven't done something in a while.Best part of the job for me is that the job changes a bit depending on time of year. Some jobs are the same every day and you get -

Pros

Benefits, Company Phone, Company Vehicle

Cons

Busier in spring and fall, not everyone likes physical work
